Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

So.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.

Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.

ABOLISHED.

Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

It has never been about illegal #immigration. They needed to give you an enemy, so you would submit to things like secret police roaming the streets

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data.

It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
